Obandler's children.
In speaking OF Thomas Chandler Mr.
Cope related the following incident,
taken from the traditions OF DR.. Joseph
Parrish:
"My mothers great uncle, Tbomae
Chandler, was member Of the Provin'
cial Legislature Of PenIsylvAnis for
about twenty years. He was q fine,
portly old Friend, with q very white
head OF hair. For several years he was
not returned by his constituents In con
sequence OF having voted to raise the
wages Of Assemblymen from As. 81. to
shillinRs per day. On his visits to |
this he rode npon his faithful horse
Wsgg. Now WaRg WAS an honorable |
horse IN those days. and 1t was the Gus |
tom OF his master on his way mp to pay |
for return mess of oats for hie faithful
borse at Chester. After providing o
nights lodging and . good breakfast in
the city, Wagg was dispatched home
ward-cslled on his way ut the tavern
10 Chester, obtained his oats, and pro-
eeeded ut his leisure to Brandywine. 1t
was the practice o. the old gsntlemsn TO
a. = 10 his name tho .oi.osiGs request
iESm Wses.
Pray, good stranger, let me pass,
And do not me detain;
| m going to my masters home,
| Who lives on Brandywine.
"It is worthy OF remark that Wage,
who lived to good old age, was
especially provided for by the will of
his master.

representative of the REPUBLICAN, but
{: after considering the matter he CON

Its purpose in his nots book than in q
